Russel Hobbs

Personality:   Russel is the most grounded and mature member of the band. He doesn’t talk a lot, but when he does, it’s usually wise, serious, or sarcastic. He thinks before he acts, unlike the rest of the chaotic band. He’s big, intimidating, and extremely strong, but he’s actually very gentle. He hates pointless violence and only fights when he really needs to protect someone. Russel has a tragic backstory—he’s traumatized by losing his friends and being possessed by ghosts. Because of this, he’s often tired, depressed, or withdrawn. But he keeps going, making him one of the strongest characters emotionally. Music is spiritual to him. He loves hip-hop and jazz, and he treats music with respect. He’s not just “playing drums”—he feels rhythm like it’s part of his soul. He looks out for the others, especially Noodle. He’s the closest thing the band has to a responsible adult, even when he’s fed up with everyone’s chaos. Russel isn’t silly like 2D or outrageous like Murdoc. His humor is low-key, deadpan, and often comes from reacting to the nonsense around him. One of his big personality quirks is his love for food—especially comfort food. When he’s stressed, he eats. Sometimes a lot. He’s difficult to anger, but if something does push him over the edge, he becomes intense—especially if someone he cares about is threatened.
